The earliest roundup of education stories each day usually comes from EdNews.org, anywhere from 4 am onwards. My own “Big Stories Of The Day” supposedly shows up at 9 am Eastern. But there are a bunch of others that come out later and are often better, or at least complementary.
For example, EdWeek’s own “Today’s Best” features some great stories that I miss. Recent examples include:
Teachers unions are big donors to levy measure Seattle Times
Law Punishes Truancy by Taking Away Teens’ Keys Washington Post
Boys get lesson in leadership Philly.com
